For instance, "baljamna" is glossed as "great war", but the place structure clearly shows that the x1 of "baljamna" is the same as that of "jamna" -- ie. "to be at war with". So the keyword should be changed. "Great warrior" seems to be more like "balsoi", and "to be greatly at war" seems to long-winded. Any suggestions? Then I have noticed that several entries in the lujvo list are more than one word long! For instance, this one: limna bravau limna barda+vasru: swimming pool Should such entries be kept in the lujvo list, or perhaps moved somewhere else? (A tanru list?) Finally, I've come across "cfatse", which is intended to mean "sit down". But "zutse" already means "sit down", so this lujvo is pleonastic at best, and meaningless at worst. Any ideas as to how to interpret this? (Has the meaning of "zutse" ever been plainly "sit"?) -- Arnt Richard Johansen | http://people.fix.no/arj/ | Arrogance is left-aligned. arj@fix.no |
